      Solution for Sony, fire all design team, just go with flow, stop forcing old ideas, start making phones like one plus , Oppo , Samsung.

        Haha Sony died, the moment they moved away from Ericsson. They're just preparing their grave now.

                Xperia 1 finally a Sony flagship phone that can compete with others, but by just playing it safe.

                This is the worst Sony shipments quarter of the year ever. If they really serious on a smartphone division, they need to wake up. No Sony in my country anymore, seems like they will close shops in other places more.

                    I said it before, sony should join forces with xiaomi and make proper phones and TVs, i mean their expertise combined with xiaomi's market share would make for a much better competitor at a global scale, not to mention it would be great to see my favorite brands working together :)

                      Terrible? Not really. Smartphones are quite comparable nowadays, since most are using the same hardware.

                      Sony’s problem is marketing. They always announce their products too early, yet ship them way late when everybody already lost interest. I mean Sony was announcing their flagship before Samsung announced their Galaxy S, yet shipped them after Samsung shipped theirs. So no wonder people are not buying the Sonys.

                        Considering they pulled out from many countries, this is obvious.

                          Not that they are not good, it's because they have strong competitors.

                            Anonymous, 30 Jul 2019Screen of Xperia 1 is more expensive than the whole K20 Pro... moreScreen of Xperia 1 is more expensive than the whole K20 Pro.
                            This is a total lie. Even Samsung S10+ screen manufacturing cost is no more than 65 euros.

                            Those $1000 phones of Samsung, Sony, Apple, LG and Huawei etc dont cost $250 to be made like Xiaomi phones.
                            But they cost. S10+ manufacturing price is 419 dollars which is like 320 euros. 1 dolar is 0.70 eurocent.Iphone XS Max cost 379 dollars around 300 euros to make.
                            Sony is even cheaper LG too.

                            Look at OnePlus. They just started to add stuff and phone costs much more than previous generations.
                            And they sells less and less than before.

                            Oppo have had lately phones above $800. If you still think that flagship from Huawei, Samsung, Apple, LG, HTC, Sony and Oppo cost same of Xiaomi flagship to be made and it is all about being greed you are wasting time ...
                            But it is all aboiut greed .Xiaomi earns 25 percent on every device and they are happy with that. Sony, Samsung, apple, LG earns 300 to 500 times the manufacturing price and still they would earn more.

                            By the way, explain us why Huawei charges more than $800 and sells much more flagships than Xiaomi.
                            Huawei sells quality and technology they have everything own.

                                    Sony products (all of them) are NOT interesting any more, priced to high and with backward technology.
                                    Panasonic had a motto a while back that read : Slightly ahead of its time.
                                    Sony would read : Always non innovative and never on top of anything.

                                    Sorry Sony, you break down to : Too little too late !!
